Dental Veneers in Salem, MA

Veneers are thinly fitted laminates made of porcelain that are cemented to the front surface of the teeth. Veneers can have a profound transformation on a patient as far as smile and appearance go. Dental veneers are usually done for the crooked front teeth that are fractured or chipped, if there is a gap in the front teeth, for dark or discolored teeth and in some cases to change the position of a tooth that is not ideal.

Want a picture perfect smile but not familiar with cosmetic dentistry procedures? Dental crowns and dental veneers can give you the smile you’ve always wanted. Your smile is just as unique as you and so are your cosmetic needs. At Coral Dental Care, LLC, Dr. Anu Isaac will start your custom treatment plan with a comprehensive smile assessment to determine whether you are a good candidate for dental veneers and crowns.

If you want to know more about our cosmetic dentistry procedures including dental veneers, crowns and dental implants, call us today at our Salem, MA dental center at 978-607-0110.

The entire procedure is pretty simple and gets accomplished in two to three sittings. During the first visit, your dentist will discuss your expectations from the treatment in terms of shape, size and color of the teeth. Dental porcelain veneers require your dentist to take an accurate impression of your chipped, distorted or oddly shaped tooth to design a custom-made veneer, maintaining the finest quality. Veneers are fabricated in the laboratory and this can take up to two weeks. Once the permanent set of porcelain veneers is ready, the final stage of the procedure commences wherein the veneers are bonded to the tooth surface. Before the veneer is bonded, your dentist will examine the fit to ensure that your front veneers perfectly match your existing oral structure.

Dental porcelain veneers are termed as a permanent solution but they don’t last you a lifetime. With regular brushing, flossing and proper care, your veneers can last up to 10 years!

Dental Crowns in Salem, MA

A dental crown is used to cover or “cap” a damaged tooth. It is usually placed when the tooth has lost a lot of its tooth structure due to an old filling, decay, fracture, badly discolored tooth or to protect a tooth that has had a root canal treatment. Crowns are usually made of porcelain or Zirconia (white metal) and are matched to the color of your natural teeth.
